Summer Trips

Mid-May, Nick and I went to down to Alabama to attend a wedding. Jim's nephew, John, began his new life with a beautiful young woman Catherine. It was in her hometown and what a beautiful town it was. Right on the Gulf, flowers planted on every street corner, lots of beautiful big oaks and other trees, just a very charming and alluring area. We went to the beach, Nick swam and then took a kayak out, it was so nice. We had a great weekend (it was way too short), got to see some family that we hadn't seen in a very long time.

Then in June I spent two weeks in Michigan with family. My brother Ron, his two girls and his grandson, all came up from Phoenix so I made sure I was there during their visit. We got some great photos, some really good family photos and a wonderful 4 generation. It was so good to see the girls and my brother and especially that beautiful baby boy, Isaiah. He is a very happy and healthy baby. His grandpa seems to like him pretty well and I see that Isaiah is pretty attached to his g'pa, too.

Then, Jim and I went to Springfield, which I wrote about already. If you go to Jim's blog you can see the photos we took there. I sent that address to all of you in an email. Well, all for now. We had a short storm night before last, that I will be posting about real soon, along with a video.... wish me luck.
